Literally me the first time I saw the "Milky Way." I know, we're in the Milky Way, but I mean the galactic disk that looks like milk and gave it its name. I was on a church trip (ugh) that took us to the mountains. We arrived at night and when I stepped out of the car and looked up I just stared for... what felt like forever.
I always loved the night sky, but that night I was in pure awe. It was the only redeeming part of that miserable trip.
